Memorial Donor Quilts

Mountains of Memories Memorial Donor Family Quilt

Hear the Mountains Calling
Heart of mine
Hear the mountains calling
For Peace and solitude.

Mind of mine
Hear the mountains calling
For insight and
Wisdom.

Spirit of mine
Hear the mountains calling
For courage and
Strength.

--Randy Guess


The Mountains of Memories Donor Family Quilt is a labor of love, created as a tribute to generous tissue and eye donors by their families. Quilt squares show each donor's unique talents, interests and character traits. Lois Jarvis-a Madison, Wis. fiber artist since 1971 specializing in patchwork and quilting-wove 17 quilt squares into a mountain-top motif as a permanent memorial to these 17 special people. Lois mixes her love of working with found objects, fabric, traditional quilting techniques, computer technology and the sewing machine, to create fiber works with emotional content. Her Web site can be accessed at www.loisjarvisquilts.com.
